MOSUL, Iraq (Reuters) – U.S. and Iraqi forces have launched a new military campaign they hope will put an end to a stubborn insurgency in restive Nineveh province, seen as a final holdout for Sunni Islamist militants, officials said on Sunday. Brigadier General Said Ahmed Abdullah, spokesman for the northern province's military command, said local forces began searching homes and conducting widespread arrests on Friday as part of the new operation to oust al Qaeda militants.
He said 84 suspects had been detained so far in the province, which as violence drops across the country is now Iraq's most dangerous area and seen as a haven for al Qaeda and other militants who launch car bombs and other attacks daily.
